What is the part of the frame that connects just under the header, and forms the sides of the door or window outline?

Answer Trimmer

Trimmers attach to the bottom of a header and run down along the sides of either a door or window frame. The header, king studs, and trimmers create a system that transfers weight from above to the ground. Another name for trimmers are "jack studs".
